Was your family name one of the first 100 to settle in Split?
With Split’s loaded history, from it’s founding as the Greek colony of Spálathos in 3rd century BCE to Emperor Diocletian, the Venetian period, Napoleon, and Hasburg, we have our heads wrapped around the big shots that made Split what it is today. But what about the everyday people?
Now, here’s something to think about: Did you know that the first family to settle in Split was recorded in 1261? Fortunately, with research by Mario Nepo Kuzmanić who specialized in in Split people, families and the last names of priceless value, we are now able to know the first hundred Split families, with the year of arrival and origin of their last name, reports Dalmatinski Portal on January 4, 2018.
